Specialist cleaning

water, mud, body fluids and foul substances such as sewage. If your radio has been subjected to
contamination, seek advice from your local Health and Safety authority.
Warning! PERSONAL SAFETY.
Always obey your local health and safety
procedures when using potentially harmful cleaning solutions. Appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn when cleaning the
